Review: "Media Anthropology is an interdisciplinary reader that represents a convergence of issues and interests on anthropological approaches to the study of media. While other books on this topic examine traditional anthropology and push that field toward the media, in this book, editors Eric W. Rothenbuhler and Mihai Coman take a novel approach by analyzing media studies and guiding that field toward anthropological thinking. This anthology charts media anthropology as a field of study and provides examples of current research that identify its major concepts and methods in chapters written by leading scholars from several countries and academic disciplines." "Media Anthropology is an excellent textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying media anthropology in Communication and Media Studies, Journalism, Anthropology, Sociology, and Cultural Studies programs."--BOOK JACKET.
